TomoeArts: Yūko-kai
Scotiabank Dance Centre, 677 Davie, Vancouver TomoeArts is BC’s leading exponent of nihon buyō (Japanese classical dance), presenting traditional and contemporary dance theatre works that are steeped in Japanese forms and aesthetics. Yūko-kai (‘a gathering for Yūko’) celebrates the late, great dancer and teacher Fujima Yūko, who trained and inspired Tomoe’s Artistic Director, Colleen Lanki. This presentation features performers from Japan and Canada in a selection of classical dances from Yūko’s repertoire.
